Six Pack Pad Set, Elbow Pads, Knee Pads, and Wrist Guard

I am not super thrilled about the price of these, but they are comfortable and definitely high quality. Also, they're sooo cute! The color is vibrant and very pretty. There are limited options out there for plus size knee pads, and these happen to be one of the most recommended options. They provide excellent knee protection and are firm so you don't have to worry about safety if you can afford them. I found the fit a little confusing. I ended up being in between sizes and kept the smaller option because I didn't want to risk any movement due to them being loose.

If you are in between sizes, size up! I am at the top of medium and bottom of large. The mediums were a little too small. I feel better in the large. These are way better than the JBMs I had. They have so much cushion. They are great to fall in and protect very well. They're also gorgeous and match my Triple Eight helmet. I haven't had a big fall in them yet, but I will, and I am confident they will protect me and keep from fighting insurance companies.

The 187 Killer Pads Six Pack Pad Set consisting of Elbow Pads, Knee Pads, and Wrist Guards are the perfect beginner set of pads for anyone interested in learning to skateboard or inline skate. We originally purchased the Triple8's Six Pack pad set the quality is night and day between the two products. Granted the 187 Killer set may be more expensive, but I think it is worth it. The 187 Killer Knee Pads are a sleeve design with additional velcro straps at top and bottom to securely tighten. The 187 Killer Elbow Pads are also a sleeve design with additional velcro straps at top and bottom to securely tighten. In contrast to the Triple8 set which uses just straps to secure to knee, I feel the Triple8 set might slide down or up a leg or arm on impact or scrape exposed skin where the 187 Killer design is covers more skin more securely. The wrist guards are similar design with the plastic impact at the heel of hand extending to the wrist, but the plastic is thicker. Also the cloth material that secures the plastic protection to the hand is better quality with the 187K vs T8. I suspect the mesh webbing of the T8 might be a lot cooler but I think they won't last long as long as the 187K. The padding on the 187 Killer is much thicker and looks more like safety gear than the toyish look and feel of the Triple8. We will keep both, but as my daughter learns to surfskate and has more opportunity to fall, I feel better with her wearing the 187 Killer pads over the Triple8's. As she progresses to skate on the street and is skilled and confident, I think the Triple8 will offer protection for an occassional fall. If she hits the skateparks, bowls or pumptracks she'll probably grab the beefier 187 Killer pads. If I had the opportunity to return the Triple8's I would've but I can't.

I returned the Triple Eight Saver Pad Set because I didn't like how the knee pads slid up and down my knees while testing it out. After looking through some reviews, I was lead to this 187 Killer Pads Six Pack Pad Set, which was almost double the price. However, you definitely get what you pay for. These pads don't slide up and down my knees and they fit snugly. They might feel a bit too tight, but at least they stay in place since you have to fit them over your arms and legs like a sleeve. That sleeve provides extra stability. Although the elbow pads have a smaller shield than the Triple Eight set, it is rounded and seems to be engineered to break your fall if you land on it. The knee pads are already much larger in surface area and seem like they can take a scrape. The wrist guards are fine, and I haven't seen too many differences between wrist guards of different brands at this price point. Overall it seems like a great pad set, and I'm glad I switched to this brand. If you can spare the extra money, you will probably save yourself a trip or two to the hospital (which is much more expensive) with this pad set over other cheaper pad sets.

This is really just a review on sizing- if you’re between sizes hopefully this helps. I’m 5’6, 120lb and usually a 0 or 2 in clothing. Size guide based on measurements has me right on the cusp between an XS and a S/M for all three pads. In the pic the red/blue/white is a size XS and the blue and black (Electric Bolt) is size S/M. Short version is that neither set works for me. I can purchase separately but unfortunately neither knee pad worked. The padding is excellent and they appear to be well made- unfortunately just not right for this body. From everything I've read/watched on sizing these pads it's recommended that they feel pretty snug. Once you warm up they'll become more malleable and conform to your body. Also, with time they'll stretch out a bit. So, keeping those suggestions in mind, that's how I determined the correct fit for me. Wrist guards- The S/M fit and are definitely my size. The XS were way too small. I think I'm a size 7 in gloves which is a womans small or medium. My ring finger is a a size 5.5. Elbow pads- The XS fit great, very secure. The S/M were much too loose. I secured them as tightly as possible but that made the velcro straps stick out and snag my clothing. Knee pads- First, the difference in size between the XS and the S/M knee pads is... significant. And, unfortunately, neither knee pad worked for me. The S/M had the coverage I wanted but it was too roomy. Even cinched down below my knee as tightly as possible I had a long strap hanging down to my ankle and I still felt like my knee was swimming in them. The XS fit nice and snug but didn't offer enough coverage- if they had been longer they would have been great. (I watched the 187 video on sizing knee pads and they recommend the knee pad sit one hand width above and one hand width below your knee cap. The S/M is the right length (just not the right width). The XS is too short- closer to 2 or 2.5 fingers above and below my knee cap. I feel like they're made for a shorter person. I'm 5'6", I think you'd need to be shorter than that for the XS knee pads to fit properly. Another thing about the knee pads is that the size and shape of the plastic is different. I expected the size to be different but not the shape. The plastic on the XS knee pad measures 5x5 and is completely rounded with no flat areas- it looks kind of like an elbow pad. The plastic on the S/M measures 6x6, (I wouldn’t think an inch difference would make that much difference but it really does). Also, the plastic is flat on the front and the edges are curved. A feature I see more higher end and pro pads. Fit aside I did a dead fall onto my knees wearing both pads onto a wood floor. Both were very protective. Surprisingly, the shape difference didn’t affect how I landed. I thought my knee would roll in the XS but it didn't. Protection wise these are a big thumbs up. I'm super bummed they don't fit.

These protectors are an excellent investment, super comfortable and they really protect.

Wow, very impressed with this pad set. My daughters both play derby and we buy alot of protective gear. We tried the triple 8s but they were terrible and didn't last long. These 187 knee pads are thick and great quality. They fit my 9 year old really well and stayed on without sliding! Wrist guards and elbow pads also fit perfect.

I started Skateboarding again, and wanted to try transition skating. These pads really help with building confidence, knowing that if you fall you'll have some protection. They are a bit on the bulky side due to the ample padding within and hard plastic caps, but well worth it. The weight is good and they are comfortable to use for long skate sessions. Very happy with the purchase.
